Transgender Kim Kardashian Lookalike is Searching For Her Kanye West

Thalia Almodovar, who was born male, has spent a whopping $107,000 to transform herself into Kim Kardashian. Pout, boobs, booty and all.

Not bad, right?

The Kim K-ringer, who started to transition in her teens, said that at first she didn't realize she shared a likeness to the queen of contour, but she's come to dig it.

Thalia, 28, says: "I couldn't see it at first but then I embraced it. I'd get preferential treatment in clubs and restaurants. People would mob me for selfies."

The New Yorker has since doled out a small fortune for a butt implant to get Kim's profile down, and has spent over $15,000 on a new wardrobe of latex bodycon dresses to match Kim's Kloset.

The makeup artist, who also gets collagen injected into her lips every six months, told the Mirror, "It makes me feel better about myself. I love being mistaken for Kim."

Thalia is hoping to make a career out of being Kim's doppelgänger. "I'd like to be famous for who I am, but why not?" she says.

And yet, the one downfall of being Kim's klone is that it makes her dating life tricky. While she's "on the lookout" for her Kanye, she says men aren't as interested in getting to know the real her—they're too distracted by her, err, assets.

"Sometimes guys just want to talk to me because I look like Kim without getting to know me–that annoys me."

Yeah, I can see why that would be a bother, but it's a problem I will never be able to relate to. Though I did get mistaken for a girl from a State Farm commercial once. So that's something.
